THE CHOLERA
Since our last publication the weather has undergone a very agreeable change; and the atmosphere, which had for several weeks been extremely sultry, became, on Sunday evening, quite cool, and now wears more the appearance of March than June. The Cholera, of which before we heard very little of, must, we think, be now nearly extinct. The majority of the deaths at present are children, who, at this season of the year, are affected with the worms, a disease which has been very fatal. We would, however, recommend a continuation of precautionary measures, in order that the dreaded disease may not be allowed again to commit its ravages among us unprepared.
